  AI slop hurts your soul. It makes you: distrustful, dismissive of creative works, uncreative, derivative, imaginatively stunted, unreflective, dependant, it robs you of the satisfaction and growth granted by the creative process and it poisons you with all the same cultural biases taken from the training data. AI robs people of imagination and the drive to create and instead produces output that is pastiche on steroid, uninspired unchallenging slop, every little detail crafted without personal...

  Anarchist calisthenics is fun - practice small disobedience against unjust systems safely whenever you can to build your confidence to disobey when it really matters. #Anarchism

  Veganism is not a boycott - a boycott aims to change the behaviour of a company or industry; veganism wants to end an industry. Boycotts have a conditional end; veganism is a baseline principle that non-humans don't deserve imprisonment torture and death. Boycotts are reform that target extrinsic harms, veganism targets abolition of intrinsic harms. So saying "Veganism won't achieve abolition because boycotts have limited success" is a category error. #Veganism #Boycott

  I'm really enjoying the new gameplay mechanics for Super Tux 0.7, it was already quite a polished game but now it feels even more full and interesting. #FLOSS #Gaming #FLOSSGaming #SuperTux #Platformer

  I find it hilarious that the euphemism of using bittorrent to seed linux/bsd isos may actually become not a euphemism anymore if they start outlawing what I imagine would come to be called "anonymous distros" (they don't report your identity to government run APIs) #Bittorrent #Linux #BSD #PSA #Privacy #Anonymity #Anarchism

  Its hard to give up the myth of intelligence for those of us who were given our social validation early on by our intelligence Intelligence is socially constructed like money or race or gender it both is and isn't real.

  How does everyone feel about "Total Liberation" when you hear it is there any liberation struggle that you feel is being excluded? The main reason I don't use it is because I think it contributes to minimizing individual struggles that are already pretty overlooked like antispecieisism antiableism antisanism antiageism etc so I usually prefer to name each struggle individually In fact I hardly hear anyone identifying with it but I appreciate the no-compromises attitud...

  @Tutanota I am a paying subscriber of several years for tutamail and I am also an antispeciesist vegan I like tutamail because of the commitment to renewable energy[1] and quantum resistant encrypted private emails; put the two together and there is nothing else like it I can think of. I have a suggestion - I noticed that the junkmail folder is called "Spam" and features an icon of a bug. "Spam" is a speciesist phrase as I outline in this short post https:...

  Even if the United Kingdom Green Party wins the parliament majority they will not reverse the porn bans on face sitting strangulation and the upcoming ban on incest role play. These are bans that were pushed by both the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, and even if the Green MP sentiment was to unban them I doubt any of them would dare table a motion to do so because kinks are taboo and most wouldn't talk about this failure because sex is taboo. And why are sex and kinks taboo i...

  I like how people are recommending a bunch of FLOSS messengers now, its an opportunity to check out underrated projects like I just a few minutes ago learned about the FLOSS project Quiet (https://tryquiet.org) from a discord community trying to relocate. The website says its all E2EE P2P with tor built in, channels like slack/discord, no email or phone number required. Unfortunately no quantum resistant encryption on the roadmap so I still would recommend SimpleX for general purpose instant m...

  "I got a disease the other day and I was going to go to the doctor until I realised its the circle of life and death and decomposition is a natural part of the food chain. It would be ridiculous to go and stop all disease in nature that would be bad for the environment because it would cause overpopulation. So I'm going to do the natural and sustainable thing and let myself die" This is how a lot of carnists sound. Life and death of other animals is in our hands, an...

  Hey "No Ethical Consumption" people, nothing is more deactivating for me than seeing caring thoughtful people such as yourself tell me that something I'm doing to make the world a better place is worthless (it isn't) and that you, nominally my ally, will do nothing to help. It's almost like you're more interested in an excuse to not have to do something like go vegan than you are at actually providing an actionable plan we can work together on....

  @abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist The idea that individual actions don't matter that much still fills me with hope. I used to say "I'm here because this won't be enough" #Anarchism #Nihilism #AnarchoNihilism

  @AnarchistArt@mastodon.social Please do not compare racist murderers to pigs Pig shouldn't be an insult, it just shows how little humans respect pigs that their species is equated with fascism and racism I believe this is because humans hurt innocent pigs so much that they have come to hate all pigs because in pigs they see their own violence reflected back at them. Its easier to hate pigs than to empathize I'd rather be a pig than a fascist
